Cell vs PC

[Guest]

I know this isn't directly related to Mechanical computer hardware, but if we could compare a cell to a computer, how would each PC component compare to Cell components?
Generally a PC has roughly (but not limited to) 8 factors:

- Case
- CPU
- GPU
- Cooling
- Motherboard
- RAM
- Storage
- PSU

(not like any of you didn't know that)

Now each component has individual functions, but how would the relate when compared with a cell.
A cell has the following components:

- Cell Membrane
- Nucleus
- Cytoplasm
- Ribosome
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
- Mitochondria
- Golgi Apparatus
- Lysosome
- Cytoskeleton

(hopeful I didn't miss any)

All of you Bio nerds could maybe help me out.
Thanks

I don't think you can really compare them; they're in completely different realms.

A human you can I guess,
The CPU is the Brain making and solving all the complex connections
The MOBO is your veins and arteries delivering everything that needs to be
the case is your skin and bones
the ram is your Brains ability to process information 😛
the PSU is your Central Nervous System
The storage is your brains long term memory
Cooling is the way we as humans sweat and release heat from our skin
and the GPU is our eyes rendering the massive 3d world around us in the highest resolution

all working together to create a monster machine the worlds most powerful computer, the human.

True, but I suppose what I'm really asking is how can I compare the functions between the two. For example, the Mitochondria "generates" ATP, a cells version of energy. Likewise the PSU "generates" electricity to power a computer. Within both instances, there are many step that must be taken to achieve the overall goal: to power the components.

I was thinking of a bigger scenario, for example where the PC acted as cells in the body, and all the PC's across the internet had functions similar to the body. Each PC would have components within themselves that correspond to cell organelles. Idk, maybe none of this is making any sense.
